Unusual Indus Valley Pottery Antelope Head Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Ancient World: Near Eastern: Ceramics: Pre AD 1000 item# 1045433
click for details		Priceless Past $179
This very unusual find is from the Indus Valley Culture prior to 2200 BCE. It is in the shape of what appears to be an antelope head with large spiral horns.
